Pros

The Weekends off are the only Pro.

Cons

Way too many to list them all But I have work in the office throughout the whole pandemic… Every other department in the company received a Raise except for the customer care department because our managers did not fight for us like the other managers of different apartment fought for them. Although it was only $.42 at in a time like this our annual raises are necessary. The system to always crashing… everybody is overworked and under paid. Both of the big bosses quit.
